Hussars


in December 1952 in the journal Les Temps modernes in an article entitled Grognards et hussards ("The Old Guard and Hussars"), literary critic, Bernard Frank, ironically named the "hussars" several young budding writers. Mot was chosen because of the name of the novel "Blue Hussars", released in 1950 and written by one of these young men - Roger Nime (he served his time in the French armed forces is still in the then Second Hussar Regiment). Nime wrote for the magazine monarchical La Nation française and was a friend of Louis-Ferdinand Celine.

"Hussars" were writers, somehow resisted the bandwagon while the intellectual Youth existentialism and leftist snobbery in literature, a person whom was Jean-Paul Sartre. It is this fashionable in certain circles, lines and contrasted with a "Hussars", among which, besides Nime included Michel Deon, Jacques Laurent, Antoine Blondin, François Nurise, Kleber Edan, Stefan Ekke, Felicien Marceau, Jacques Perrin, Christine de Rivuar, Genevieve Dorman. Francoise Sagan also found in the literature on the crest of the "hussar" wave. "Hussar" can be called, perhaps, the "right anarchists" - anarchists, to the extent to which they are not priemleli established in the French literature of the time dictate leftist establishment. Some of the "hussar" worked with ACCION Francaise. "

most iconic figures of this informal association - Apart from Roger Nime - are Jacques Chardonnay (collaborator, who served after the war, a prison term) and Paul Moran, a brilliant stylist and scholar - is also collaborator, who lived after the war for some time in exile in Switzerland, and later became famous for his candidacy for election to the French Academy was first rejected by Charles de Gaulle (the only case in the history of France, when the president of the republic exercised his right to veto candidate in academics). Another well known for his non-conformist "hussar" was Philip Edyui, who retired as a volunteer on the Algerian war and later srezhessirovavshy several documentaries about her. Published by the Journal of L'Esprit public , in which he wrote several brilliant intellectuals, was one of the mouthpiece of the opponents the treacherous policy of de Gaulle in Algeria against the French.
